Hi. I'm currently dealing with a scammer. Here is their profile http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198058158779/ . And this is the real users profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/mhmed009/ . First of all, can anyone who knows this user please make sure he knows this please and second of all, what should I do?

The first profile is a Scammer impersonator of second profile, thats is the real user. You never should trade with a impersonator scammer.

You always can send a report of the scammer in www.steamrep.com. You can make a post in Forum and almost he could be marked as scammer on this web, and all people can see it. Take a picture of bofth profiles and a picture of chat if contacted with him, and make a report.

Don't trade with known scammers. Doing so may result you getting tagged for it by association and/or trade banned by Valve. It's best to remove them from your friends list and block them.

As far as impersonators, there's no much you can do. Block them off. If you really feel like doing the work report them on steamrep.

Is there a way to get them banned?

Probably not. Report to Valve via their Community profile if you want, but they rarely ban users for simple impersonation.

More to the point, it's useless. Most impersonator accounts are throwaways. They'll just make another.

Hmm you have a point. I will file a complaint as you and the previous user suggested but yeah, probably won't do much at the end of the day.
